This wine is from Villiera in Stellenbosch, South Africa, and is listed as 100% Chenin Blanc. The 2022 vintage was made from fruit picked ripe for richness and structure, with substantial skin contact, partial whole-bunch pressing, fermentation in large French oak barrels, and eight months’ lees ageing. The result is a dry white with a fuller body and a more classical barrel-fermented profile than a simple stainless-steel Chenin.

Tasting Notes

Published notes describe yellow-gold color, yellow apple, plum, citrus, honey, tropical fruit, pineapple, and toasted butter-like lees character. The wine is also described as harmonious, well-made, and oak-supported rather than oak-dominated, with fresh acidity balancing the richness.

Serving and Cellaring

Serve chilled, but not too cold, so the oak and lees complexity can show. This is a dry white wine intended for near-term drinking, though its structure suggests it can hold for a few years.
